"Considering they've already proved to be aggressive on the trade market this offseason, it's clear that general manager Will Dawkins will do whatever it deems necessary to get his team out of the constant cycle of mediocrity. Moving veterans like McCollum and Middleton would be highly appealing to the Wizards, who would be more than willing to offload the lucrative contracts, especially Middleton's."
"Kispert has spent the last four seasons in Washington, where he's yet to emerge as a premiere talent the Wizards hoped he could become when they selected him in the first round of the 2021 NBA Draft. Despite not being a top wing, Kispert has developed into a more than reliable 3-and-D player. Considering the value he could offer a playoff contender, it won't be surprising to see teams began to call about his availability,"
The Washington Wizards enter the season with a mix of exciting young talent and multiple potential trade candidates on the roster. The team includes veterans such as CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton and prospects like Bilal Coulibaly, creating flexibility ahead of the February trade deadline. General manager Will Dawkins has shown offseason aggressiveness and willingness to move veterans to escape prolonged mediocrity, though finding suitors for high-priced playmakers may prove challenging. Corey Kispert emerges as an intriguing trade asset due to his reliable 3-and-D skills and recent long-term extension, making him attractive to contenders such as the Cleveland Cavaliers.
